Delicious Restaurant-Style Salsa Canning Recipe

Delicious Restaurant-Style Salsa Canning Recipe Jump to Recipe

It’s salsa day, and we’re making my delicious restaurant-style salsa! This is the recipe I demonstrated in my recent video. This recipe is for a lot of salsa (7 pints) because I’m canning it with my hot water bath canner.

This is a blended, somewhat smooth salsa that is not chunky. The spice level is “medium,” but if you’re a lover of spicy foods you will probably find this to be somewhat mild.
